Nott is a collection of letters recounting the author's experiences during the American Civil War, written in the mid-19th century. Nott, who served as a Captain in the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, shares vivid and personal reflections on military life, hardships, and the struggles faced by soldiers and civilians alike during this tumultuous time in American history. The opening of the work introduces a poignant narrative about a young soldier named Frank Gillham, who, after nursing his sick horse, succumbs to pneumonia in a hospital far from home. The sorrow of his lonely death and the struggles to inform his family highlight the human cost of war and the emotional toll it takes on those involved. As Nott visits the hospital, he describes both the grim atmosphere and the neglect faced by many soldiers, conveying a sense of loss and reflection on duty, sacrifice, and the burden of the war's legacy. This initial section sets the tone for a deeply humanistic treatment of the experiences of soldiers during the Civil War, emphasizing personal stories amid the broader historical context.
